((((( leg weakness in walking severe leg pain in area from knee to ankle severe headaches Do you know of a Doctor / specialist in tethered cord that we could send MRIs to for a preilminary assessment ( i assume this is a main technique of diagnosis) thank you for your help Lynn Kading lynnann@... !DSPAM:232,446dad80200046414514824!
